‘Good News’ silenced at Ariz. school district ADF files suit for censoring Christian club’s flier as too ‘religious’
PHOENIX — Alliance Defense Fund attorneys filed suit in federal court Thursday against the Dysart Unified School District for prohibiting a flier for a Christian club while allowing fliers for a wide variety of other community organizations. The district denied the invitation and permission slip for after-school meetings of the Good News Club under a policy that prohibits the distribution of literature of a “religious nature.” Numerous federal court decisions around the country have declared such policies unconstitutional because they censor fliers based solely on their religious viewpoint.
